A Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable acted swiftly to save a woman who slipped and fell while trying to board a moving train in Mumbai.

Police constable Sapna Golkar was on duty at Mumbai’s Byculla railway station on Sunday night when she saw the commuter lose her balance and fall.

Footage showed the alert cop immediately rushing to the woman’s aid and pulling her away from the moving train, thereby preventing further injuries. This is the second time in two months that Ms Golkar has saved a passenger.

In the video, the 40-year-old woman was dragged by the train for a split second before help arrived. Besides Constable Golkar, a few other people at the platform also rushed to her aid. The commuter was seen getting up after a few moments, apparently not injured seriously.

The video was released on social media and also shared by the Ministry of Railways which praised the constable. It, however, reminded all passengers to not attempt to board trains while they were moving.  — ndtv.com
